Jade jewelry in form of pendants
probably are
second in the
row. Just by
looking at a
simple jade
bangle it is
possible to see
all the
volatility and
difficulty of
the jade market
in general. |

It is possible to buy pretty jade
bangles at a shop in Yangon Myanmar Bogyoke market, one of the main
sources of jade jewelry for about $ 10,-.
This is a genuine piece of
jadeite nicely cut, not carved but polished, real jades, not treated.
What it doesn't have is translucency and a real exquisite texture
and color and this is where the exponential
price rise starts.
If the
jade bangle
has
good
translucency and maybe the right green jade color it might be
immediately exponentially more expensive and we don't talk about
treated jade bangles which is very common in
China, they add all kind of
chemicals under very high pressure to get the required look and
texture.
The best properties to consider are with emerald green
color jade bangles, also known as imperial jade,
a good clarity, nice texture, no cracks and a good amount of
translucency, actually the better the transparency is the
higher the higher the price.
This jade bangles comes various colors,
such as white, lavender, brown, pink, purple but the most sold items
are always green and often green and white as it is seen below.
If
you found a nice dress,
great shoes, what’s missing? Yes,
great jade bangle or jade bracelet! This could be just the right
piece of jewelry to make your outfit look gorgeous, bracelets
have just the right size to being noticed, they are not small
such as earrings or simple rings and having the right color and
shine it complements perfect any dress. It won’t look overdone
as with a diamond necklace or |
|
bracelet and is reasonably priced,
great jadeite bangle and bracelets are available from around $
20,- up to over $ 5000,- all natural, no fuss, no tricks, no
manipulations (this subjects must be worked through carefully
when buying the jewelry) |

they are positioned at one of the most
visible parts of a women, the wrist. The jadeite bangle will put the
spotlight on your wrist it’s a classic eye catcher. Since this
pieces of jewelry are available in almost any color its easy to make
them match.
This bracelets and bangles are usually
simple and straight forward in design. Some manufacturers offer them
with some, usually, white gold adds on to enhance the light
reflection.
Some bangles are beautifully carved with
various motifs to give a special touch. Gorgeous piece that which
look to pull themselves, it's rather casual, but it looks great and
maybe as the Chinese tell it brings luck whenever it’s on your body. |

Checking Jade

Jade carving

Cheap jade bangles are also the market along the
main street at
Mae Sot Thailand where
everyday the people show the materials they smuggled into
Thailand and there are quite some
pretty pieces laying around.
Checking
jade bracelets
could be done with a simple torchlight and a high
level of experience there is no way to play games with the guy,
he really tells exactly what's on. The most popular jewelry is a
green bangle,
lavender jade jewelry and white jewelry.
The bangles come as carved or simply polished, as
pendants, amulets, rings, earrings etc. The pendants are often
carved Buddhas. The real good quality is also called
Imperial jade.
Chinese are masters
in Jade carving.
They are expert to carve the green
stone and mostly work in shifts, 24 hours and still it takes sometimes more than
a years to finish one piece of a sophisticated jadeite item. For
centuries methods to create jade bangles have been unchanged. Bracelets and other items are not carved, the method is
rather drilling and grinding.
Boulders are somewhere
extracted (usually quality jadeite comes from
northern Myanmar this
days) from maybe 10 or 20m depth in the earth and are cut into
pieces. From this point the methods to
create the final object depends on the form of the object.
Jade
Bangles and bracelets
come in a variety of forms, finishing,
textures, colors and translucency
the better the translucency and color the higher the price. If
its a real exquisite bangle and everything fits it can fetch a
higher price as a pure gold bangle of similar size. |

Another reason why a jade bangle
could be very high priced is the fact that
Chinese people interpret
certain supernatural power into the stone in this case the
raw material, finally it's not
supernatural, defined as a "living stone" but superstition just
brewed together.
All this shows that there is a
strange aura around
jadeite even until present days
and this is one of the reasons why people buy jade bracelets.
Quality of most items is excellent, having a honey-like
transparency or translucency, watery luster and smooth finish.
A
jade bangle
is the most widely used piece of
jewelry made from the green stone, with an aura of mystic for health and luck.
Prices of jade bangles and jade bracelets
range is extremely wide from a simple bangle for ten
dollars to a real special one, means great texture, color and
translucency for more than 3000,- the values are sometimes
strange, since there are no standard parameter. This is
definitely one
of the most popular body decoration item in Asia.
A jade bangle looks good, comes in many colors, is exceptional hard and has a mythical aura built up over several thousand years. The variety of
jadeite colors makes it sure to find just the right for you fitting any fashion style and color.
There are two different kind
of materials a jade bangle is made from, jadeite and the other is nephrite.
Jadeite is the better "stuff" with better colors, textures and when it has a high value of translucency real expensive. Nephrite is less hard and colors and textures are not as good
there is also no lavender color. |

is mined in Myanmar or Burma,
nephrite is mainly mined in China and elsewhere. When buying a
excellent piece of jade jewelry this days it is almost always jadeite from Myanmar, also when they call it Chinese jade, it's from Myanmar or Burma, either smuggled or exported normally to China where most of the manufacturing places are to bring the raw jades into jewelry.
Mythical properties of jades are cloudy
and never proved, its more superstition telling if you wear jewelry made from the green stone its good for your health, your mind and bring good luck, increase longevity, which are good ideas anyway and also good arguments of the jewelry sales person in the shop. Currently (2012) are plenty of rumors that the supply of raw material is declining because of huge demand of jewelry items from Chinese people, which is partly true. As a matter of fact there are enough mountains of jade and underground deposits in northern

Myanmar and elsewhere
such as New Zealand and US to satisfy the market for
decades and from time to time new deposits are found.
Beside of a bangle
there are jade pendants,
earrings, chains, necklaces,
rings and more, a wide spectrum of great body decoration.
Jade Bangles are some of the most demanded items
made from the green stone. They come in all price ranges
starting already from around US 10,- at the jadeite market at
Bogyoke Aung San Market in Yangon Myanmar
up to real exquisite ones for thousands of dollars. This wide
price spectrum is really amazing but it reflects the different
qualities and properties of jadeite, it is necessary to point
out that even the cheap one is |

genuine not treated with any
enhancement technique. Actually it won’t make make sense
to invest time and materials to make jade bangles with
such as low price. That is also not nephrite which is
generally much lower than jadeite
prices. |

When buying a jade bangle
or
jade bracelet
it is very important to
check that it fits well and has no hard edges which can scratch
or even rub the skin uncomfortably. When buying at a shop there
is no problem since you can try it first, when buying
jade bangles or jade bracelets
on the
internet make a small model by just cutting the form with the
right dimension out of paper or better cardboard and see if that
measurements fit you.
Important is always the inside
diameter of a jade bangle and be careful when measuring because
the wrist at the left has usually slightly different
measurements |

|
than at the right side. After
finding the dimensions have a look for the quality,
color,
translucency, texture and very
important, check for cracks in jade bangles. If
buying from the shop and the item is over lets they
around $ 500,- take a strong torchlight and a at least 10 times magnifying glass with you to
inspect the item optically, when buying over around thousand
dollar take a consultant with who is experienced since there are
too many tricks and cheating which you as a simple buy simply
won’t notice, it’s too easy to lose quite a lot of money when
you don’t have experience with the subject.
That’s one the reasons which makes it difficult to buy such
things over a
internet shop because it’s absolute impossible to
figure that out from a photo on the screen. On top of it those
pictures are usually enhanced with a picture manipulation
program where it is possible to change all parameter for jade
bracelets from
clarity to transparence and color.
This
days jade shop
sales people
will tell the price will rise over time which is not
true, why should be a rise? There is a lot of natural jade out
there, every month they discover some new deposits in Kachin
state in the north of Burma or Myanmar, this is for jadeite, for
a lesser |
|
|
|
quality jade bangle which is nephrite the proven
deposits in China, New Zealand, USA, Canada etc. are rather
large and they find a lot of new stone and boulders after the
Chinese started a research and exploration program at some
places at the fringes of the
Taklimakan desert, they already found a lot new deposits in
recent times. The thing should really be the quality to be
focused on and forget all other things people tell to push up
prices for jade bangles.
Jade
jewellery is probably best expressed by some
great jade bangles, earrings and jade Buddha pendants. Of course
there are others but that gets expensive then. If there is
enough cash for some real great jade artwork get a jade Buddha,
that's a real eye catcher in every house, not only optically but
also with some mental background, read
